Does anyone knows the optimal weight distribution for a kart, with and without the driver?
On manuals it is often suggested a weight distribution of 43.5 - 56.5, but is this with or without the driver? If it's without, how much does this change with the driver?
With, no doubt
The way I was taught,..you have it almost spot-on,...43%F-57%R.
Mike,...
Yes 57/43 split with a total of 103kg including the driver.
Piboso, do you have the necessary photo's and measurements for the baby kart yet. Do you have to stick to a certain make or is it free.
It depends on the tyre and the chassis. Usually it would be between 55-60% rearwards with vertical CG between 150-200mm above ground.
in italy is it 110kg on mini 60 and the kart without the driver Wight 50-80 the drivers are very diffrent :) :) :)
